Stevie Wonder - Finger Tips - LIVE London Part 13

[AtomicCrane]

did i hear the ''S'' word at 6:16? :o

[Rocketbum5]

I was in the TV truck & have a first generation audio mastertape.

13/5/1989. Awesome . . .

[moosey62]

Is he Zappa in disguise?

[Rocketbum5]

@moosey62 no

[tipofmytongue1024]

First example of a branch of Auto Tune. :P

[WrightSounds1]

I know most of you won't believe it but, Stevie IS NOT using a Harmonizer!!

I saw him at Madison Sq Garden do this not only on stage but also back stage after the show WITHOUT A MICROPHONE!!

This man is one of the most prolific vocalist (and all around musician) of our time. His hearing abilities are phenomenal, and yes "he is a genius"!!

[ppetracco]

Aw, man... Talk about a crappy synth sound!!

[Memyai]

Where?  This is genius!

[ppetracco]

):04, 1:20...

I also think it's genius, but that's no reason for me to like that crappy synthesizer sound... Check out the related video "Fingertips (Parts 1 & 2 Live)", wouldn't you agree that the sound of real horns is much more pleasing?

[rhythmandblues1]

hehehehehehehehehehehe.....hil­arious.

[kantown]

It`s cool! Stevie is genius!

[SammyJoeH]

Oh god that ending was hilarious. "MY VOICE IS CHANGING! ITS GONNA RUIN MY WHOLE CAREER!"

I think using a harmonizer to sing Fingertips was a great idea. Even if it is a little squeaky

[smoton2]

@SammyJoeH  HANG IN THERE SAMMY, IT WAS THE SAME WITH STEVIE WONDER AT HIS TENDER AGE WHEN HE STARTED SINGING. THEY HAD TO BERRY GORDY AND PAUL TRIED HARD TO FIND THE RIGHT MUSIC FOR A PRETEEN TO TEENAGER BECAUSE OF HIS VOICE AND THE CORRECT MATERIAL.

[shydmples]

lol..that was a cool segment...lol

[eutuxiaMJ]

wow!Awesome!Michael Jackson is my idol!!! :D

[jockelundberg]

Why don't you go and check out some of his vids instead then?

[eutuxiaMJ]

I love Stevie.Where is your problem?!

[jockelundberg]

?? You commented "Michael Jackson is my idol!!! " on a Stevie wonder movie? Did I miss something?

[eutuxiaMJ]

so what?!i must ask you?And if you don't know "i want you back"is Michael's song!Anyway,it's over!

[jockelundberg]

Oh, I had no idea. That explains it :). I didn't mean to be rude either

[eutuxiaMJ]

it's ok.

[WunNightStan]

LMFAOOOO!!!!

OMG Stevie you are an idiot! lolz

[Nessthegreat]

hahahahahahaha

Im the baddest...wait wait my voice is changin! whats goin on here? oh no this his horrible my career oh no, oh no i cant beelliievve ittttt....

[nellerdrengen01]

anybody knows which key his harmonica is in, in this song ?. maybe Eb ?

[thankgodjohn]

the song is in C minor

[angrykoopa]

yeah Eb major and Cm are enharmonically equivalent, but the songs chord's are all Cm so I guess he was using a C chromatic

[Memyai]

Thanks, now in English please!

[rosss1959]

Stevie Stevie Stevie... Never a dull moment. They say he's always had a crazy sense of humor even durng his days as a child at Motown. Bet Mike and his brothers woulda got a kick out of this had they been there.

[passion4posh]

um thats Tito on the bass guitar @ 4;13

[youvebeenthunderstru]

Oh, never mind. I just got that this was a joke. LOL. He's fantastic.

[youvebeenthunderstru]

LOL, why on earth would you go out of your way to alter your voice to sound like a little kid? What's the point?

[larrykingofspace]

to be fair, Stevie Wonder can do whatever he likes...

[PLUHPLUH3]

exactly and most of what he does is brilliant

so was this :D

[drodenbar]

he is re-living childhood memories

[RhythmBluesSoul1]

Because he was also a child star and had his firt hit with Fingertips when he was 13. The joke is that Motown wanted to can him when his voice started changing. He used to give a little comedic speech before doing this. It's only one little part of the show to have fun.

And yes, I agree with Larry here.. he can do whatever he likes.

[mjjlover1958]

i saw him in concert yesterday! it was the best!!!!!! he sang a lot of his old songs ns he sings soooo good!

[PLUHPLUH3]

no he didnt XD

MICHAEL JACKSON! hahahhaha stevie the best

[Spiz321]

I wonder what it is like to be blind and play the paino i know this sounds mean but he sounds like a girl >_>

[thankgodjohn]

That's not how he really sounds.

He has some effect over his microphone doing this just for this song, because he had a high voice when he was little and this was his first num. 1 single when he was 13!

[sacredgoldfish]

o thx for telling me i didnt know sry

[islezeus]

Boy you're really mentally challenged, huh

[theintenseone]

Ahahaha, this has got to be a joke. Stevie is one of the best songwriters/keyboardists/vocal­ists of our lifetime. He was just playing around here.

[gorkon87]

LMAO "I can be Michael Jackson" i love stevie

[kalcom2]

Love Stevie on harmonica

[thankgodjohn]

i love this

great post

[4everkop]

haha.. did he say "aww shit i cant believe it." at the end where his voice is changing from MJ?

[EdXpower]

He sure did...and I think he said something like "bullshit" partway through his improv lyrics :p

[bigmikerocks]

hahahaha that's awesome......using a harmonizer to sound like little stevie....

this guy is priceless....a true living legend
